The gods looked down upon upstate New York with a smile for a brief time this past week and allowed the temperatures to climb above 40 degrees. That’s enough to celebrate in my book. Of course, by the time you read this, the temperatures will have fallen again but at least we had some semblance of warmth for a while.

With this month’s update, I point you to my blog to read more about the topics at hand.

Cheers!

Since that time, there has been a lot of progress and you can read about this here.
